FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
(Bill Rice / Jerry Foster)


Billie Jo Spears - 1978
Sammi Smith - 1979
Carol Chase - 1979



I don't know how to say this
So I guess I'll just begin
There's a chance that I might lose you
But it's worth it if I win

I have been made love to
But I never have been loved
And now that I have found you
I don't want to give you up

For the first time in my life
It's more than just a night
I know it's really love this time
For the first time in my life

I could say no one has touched me
And I've led a sheltered life
But I know you'd never trust me
If you caught me in a lie

So I may as well be honest
And then you won't have to guess
I've thought I was in love before
But it's never been like this

For the first time in my life
It's more than just a night
I know it's really love this time
For the first time in my life
